Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure relates to the technical field of electronic cigarettes, and particularly, to an electronic cigarette and a control method thereof.
- At present, most electronic cigarettes record puffs and durations of smoking through the number of times and durations their buttons are pressed. However, this kind of method may not accurately reflect the actual puffs and durations of smoking. The error is relatively big.
- Most of current electronic cigarettes trigger working through the press of their buttons. These electronic cigarettes still have power consumption even if no user smokes. The battery drains quickly.
- At present, most high-power electronic cigarettes are set to fixed output powers through buttons. The use is inconvenient. Users generally smoke through mouth inhalation and lung inhalation. The mouth inhalation and the lung inhalation generate different inhalation forces and different airflow strengths. If the electronic cigarettes may not output different powers and aerosols according to different smoking situations, the electronic cigarettes may not well meet the mouth inhalation and the lung inhalation simultaneously. As a result, the user experience is poor.

Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are some embodiments of the present disclosure. For the ordinary skill in the field, other accompanying drawings may be obtained according to these accompanying drawings without creative work.
-
FIG. 1 is a simplified flowchart of a control method for an electronic cigarette according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. -
FIG. 2 is a simplified modular structure diagram of an electronic cigarette according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. - A clear and complete description as below is provided for the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described hereinafter are simply part embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present disclosure without creative work are intended to be included in the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , the present disclosure provides a control method for an electronic cigarette, the electronic cigarette defining an airflow channel and having a heating assembly. The method includes the following steps: - S10: judging whether airflow strength reaches a threshold, and switching on a working circuit of the electronic cigarette when the airflow strength reaches the threshold.
- In S10, when the airflow strength does not reach the threshold, the next action will not be performed. At this time, it may be that the electronic cigarette is shaken and the airflow strength slightly changes. Generally, the airflow strength reaches the threshold significantly only when a user smokes. When the airflow strength reaches the threshold, the next action will be performed. It should be noted that S10 may also be that a user directly switches on the working circuit through a push-button switch on the electronic cigarette.
- S11: sensing a pressure or pressure difference in the airflow channel to generate a corresponding electrical signal.
- In S11, the pressure or pressure difference may be sensed by a pressure or pressure difference sensor disposed in the airflow channel. The pressure or pressure difference in the airflow channel generally changes dynamically. Therefore, the corresponding electrical signal changes dynamically. The size of the pressure or pressure difference is directly proportional to the size of the electrical signal.
- S12: generating a corresponding control signal according to the electrical signal.
- In S12, since the electrical signal changes with the dynamic change of the pressure or pressure difference, the corresponding control signal changes dynamically too.
- S13: generating a corresponding output power according to the control signal and outputting the power to the heating assembly.
- In S13, the heating assembly may be a heating wire. Similarly, the output power changes with the dynamic change of the control signal.
- Through the above modes, when the inhalation force is bigger, the power of the heating assembly is higher and the corresponding aerosol is heavier, and, when the inhalation force is smaller, the power of the heating assembly is lower and the corresponding aerosol is lighter. Generally, during the smoking process, the change of the inhalation force presents parabolic curve. Through the above modes of the present disclosure, the power output to the heating wire changes presenting parabolic curve synchronously too. The smoking is very close to the true cigarette smoking experience.
- In one embodiment of the present disclosure, after switching on the working circuit, the method further includes: selecting an alternative smoking mode. The alternative smoking mode, for example, may include a light aerosol mode and a heavy aerosol mode. When the light aerosol mode is selected, the power output to the heating assembly is relatively low. When the heavy aerosol mode is selected, the power output to the heating assembly is relatively high. In this way, diversified requirements of users may be satisfied.
- In one embodiment of the present disclosure, after switching on the working circuit, the method further includes: adding a new smoking mode. A user may set a mode suiting his/her taste according to the smoking feeling. Specifically, the user may set and store a new smoking mode by increasing or reducing the power output to the heating assembly.
- In one embodiment of the present disclosure, while generating the corresponding electrical signal according to the pressure or pressure difference, the method further includes: recording the number of times and durations the pressure or pressure difference is generated. In a smoking state, even if a user keeps the push-button switch enabled and the electronic cigarette keeps working, the period of time when the user does not inhale is not counted into the duration the pressure or pressure difference is generated. Therefore, the amount of nicotine ingested by the user may be accurately calculated and the user may adjust the smoking habit according to the amount of nicotine ingested.

The electronic cigarette includes a pressure orpressure difference sensor 110, amaster control circuit 120, apower output circuit 130, etc. - Herein, the pressure or

The heating assembly may be a heating wire. Thepower output circuit 130 may include a power conversion circuit and a power output control circuit. - In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic cigarette further includes a start switch, and the start switch may be a push-button switch, for example, the

master control circuit 120 and is configured for selecting an alternative smoking mode or adding a new smoking mode. - The alternative smoking mode, for example, may include a light aerosol mode and a heavy aerosol mode. When the light aerosol mode is selected, the power output to the heating assembly is relatively low. When the heavy aerosol mode is selected, the power output to the heating assembly is relatively high. In this way, diversified requirements of users may be satisfied. In the adding a new smoking mode, a user may set a mode suiting his/her taste according to the smoking feeling. Specifically, the user may set and store a new smoking mode by increasing or reducing the power output to the heating assembly.
